"B" the "D"

Bill the dog was a dog about town. His job took him all over the island and he was welcomed everywhere. He enriched the lives of all his friends. He is now gone, but not forgotten.
He had many human girl friends. He loved them all equally and they, in true island style, were never jealous. However, one was a little territorial and she always liked to leave her lipstick kiss mark on his head. It was a bright red smooch.

Now the smooch is permanent and will never have to be reapplied.

And the inside of his urn is lined with love. RIP Bill.

Small nosh sets finished

The "nosh" sets are finished and on the shelves in the gallery. They are really cute.

Small sets $37.00

Before there is color.

Before there is color the clay is a lovely warm gray. These are some new dip sets with a small plate as part of the set. I think I will call them "nosh sets". They should be fun when they are finished, and a nice alternative to the larger sets.

Favorite subjects in larger sizes.

It is always a good feeling when one of the subjects you like to paint is also liked by the public. Often when I am painting, or have just finished a painting, I get an idea how to do it a little differently. If the public seens to enjoy what I am doing then I feel encouraged to go forward with my other ideas. All of the 10 x 8" beach path paintings have sold, so this time I did one in oil. It is 14 x 11" on canvas. Framed $295.00

I painted several 6 x 8" pelican paintings and they have all sold. I wanted to do another one but a little larger. This one is 8 x 10" on canvas, framed $225.00. I am thinking about doing a larger than life one, could be fun.

I hope everyone had as much fun with friends and family over the holidays as I did. It's time for me to get serious in the studio again. I think I am going to concentrate on pottery for a while.

Everyone have a good day.

New Flip Flop Beach Signs

The new flip flop beach and flip flop Key West signs are now hanging in the gallery.

Large ones are $29.00 and the small ones are $24.00

Brand New in 2011

Here are a couple of new items for the new year. These little flip flops will point you in the right direction to either Key West or the beach. I haven't made these before, but I think they are pretty cute. I just put the hangers on the back and the glue has to set up, but I can't wait to see what they look like hanging on the wall. They will be sold singly and some point right and some point left. I'll take them into the gallery tomorrow and get a photo of them hanging on the wall. I'll have the price figured out by then too.

Here's a new little flamingo dip bowl and plate set. $54.00

Bright red flip flops $48.00 and some palm coasters, $29.00 set of four.
